    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Rishi and Tarun be '3x' years and '4x' years, respectively.

    So, present age of Varun = 5/4 × 4x = 5x years

    Varun's present age = (18 + 12) = 30 years.

    So, 5x = 30

    Or, x = 6

    Required sum = (3x + 4x) = (7x) = (7 × 6) = 42 years
